Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here is the pic of the
hallway entrance.

dimension: 41" wide

I would like to either install a pocket door or swing door (obviously
a swing would be easier). Couple questions, if I decide on a swing,
which way should it swing? If I decide on a pocket what things should
I take into consideration? Any other advice is appreciated!
